Testimonials

“Harrow School was an attractive location for the YouTube Rewind project because of the historic nature of the site, its size, and seclusion from the congestion of central London. We were looking for somewhere distinctively English, with building exteriors that were centuries old, and enough open space to fly a camera-drone, without breaking the strict rules governing drone flight. There was another feature film shooting onsite at the same time, but the sheer size of the school made that possible without any clashes, and the team at Harrow School Enterprises were super helpful throughout.”
Jamie Lindsay, Location Manager
“We filmed at Harrow for Seasons 1 & 2 of The Crown and it was a fantastically positive experience both times. There is a vast range of locations at the School ranging from the amazing lecture halls and dining rooms to more unusual ones such as the black painted rackets courts which we made use of on Season 2. The staff are incredibly helpful with our, sometimes unusual, requests and the large site makes the logistics of large scale filming very easy indeed. Hopefully we will be back on Seasons 3 and beyond….”
